Benefits of technology

[0017] The primary objective of the invention is to provide a locking device of the USB port that makes use of a plugging head that can connect to or separate from USB port to achieve the efficacies of locking the USB port and preventing the data from stealing.
[0018] The secondary objective of the invention is to provide a locking device of the USB port that makes use of pressing mode to make a plugging head connect to or separate from the USB port to achieve the efficacies of conveniency and fast using of the locking device.
[0019] The other objective of the invention is to provide a locking device of the USB port that adds a light source of LED (light emitted diode) to achieve the efficacy of conveniently using the locking device of the USB port under the environment where the light illumination is insufficient.
[0020] The further objective of the invention is to provide a locking device of the USB port that one can put the plugging head aside in the locking device when one does not use it to achieve the efficacies of storing to save space and preventing the loss of plugging head.
[0021] Another objective of the invention is to provide a locking device of the USB port that can combine with a portable disc to achieve the efficacy of multifunction in a single machine.
[0022] Another objective of the invention is to provide a locking device of the USB port that can make use of the plugging channel providing a position-aligned portion; and the combined hook has a corresponding connection-aligned portion; and by the use of the variation of the dimension and position of the position-aligned portion and the connection-aligned portion to achieve the efficacy that the locking device generates the corresponding cipher code.

Problems solved by technology

Ever since the issue of Windows 98 of the Micro-Soft Company, this new data transmission interfaces—the USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become a very hot issue.
In reality, the USB specification has gone to the public by Intel Company as early as 1996, but the operation system at that time did not support the driving function of this interface.
This diversified design makes the users create a lot of trouble when it comes to implementing a computer of changing equipments.
The conveniency of the USB relatively results in the seriousness of data let out.
When it comes to use the locking device (1), the pushing and squeezing of the sliding switch (13) is apt to damage the USB port affecting the securing effect of the moving head portion (11) / or portable disc, and the USB port.
Since the locking device (1) is only a single product, the user needs to buy it separately causing low popularity and Low desire for the users.
Since the locking device (1) has no luminous device, it often cause inconveniency for the users when it is used in an environment having insufficient lamination.
That the locking device (1) occupies a large volume and is hard to put aside relatively lowers the buying desire for the consumers.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIG. 2 is an isometric exploded view of the locking device structure of a USB port of the invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the locking device (2) of a USB port includes a plugging head (21) and a carrying portion (20). The plugging head (21) has at its two ends a connecting channel (211) and a plugging channel (212) respectively. The connecting channel (211) provides alignment positioning connection to the USB port (not shown in the Figure) while the plugging channel (212) has at its two ends an open hole (213) respectively. An upper shell (22) and a lower shell (23) combines together to form a carrying portion (20) having between them a containing space (24) that has a resilient member (232) placed therein. Both the upper shell (22) and lower shell (23) provide a shallow channel (231) that makes a slider (25) possible to be contained in the containing space (24). Besides, the slider (25) being pressed against the resilient member (232) can perform linear displacement motion by ...

Abstract

A locking device of USB port includes a plugging head and a carrying portion; the plugging head has a connecting channel and a plugging channel at the two ends thereof. The connecting channel provides the alignment-positioning connection to the USB port, and the two sides of the plugging channel have an open hole respectively. The carrying portion has a combined hook at one end thereof. The combined hook performs action by the use of a pressing switch. As one performs pressing action to the pressing switch, the combined hook and the open holes separate making plugging head position at the USB port; while one stops performing the pressing switch, the combined hook connects to the open hole making the plugging head position at the carrying portion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a locking device, and more particularly, to a locking device that can lock up the data through the data transmission of USB port to prevent the data from stealing. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Science and technology change with each passing days. Following the popularization of the personal computer as well as the flourishing of the 3C-product, the peripherals having various specifications, components such as joints, plugging heads, and signal cables having different shapes and specifications, weed through the old and to bring forth the new. Ever since the issue of Windows 98 of the Micro-Soft Company, this new data transmission interfaces—the USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become a very hot issue. [0005] In reality, the USB specification has gone to the public by Intel Company as early as 1996, but the operation system at that time did not support the driving function of th...
